> 24 hourIve installed dozens of CPU fans over the years. I installed and reinstalled this twice with nowhere near the cooling that other reviews stated. My system is an overclocked Ryzen 7 1800X (36-->39.5 multiplier) and undervolted from ~1.44V to 1.30V. Under heavy loads (video rendering) it jumps to 85C. At idle its at 55C. I gained 3-4C cooling from the previous fan (coolermaster single tower). Thats not acceptable for a cooler thats almost $100. HIghly likely that I will return this.

> 24 hourI was using a Corsair H60 AIO for a few months then next thing I know HWmonitor said I was throttling to 100-103 degrees to the CPU. (NO MORE AIO) I bought this Noctua NH-D15 and sure enough my gaming rig is a EASY 30-40 degrees, cooler under a large load on OCCT I only get up to 58-59 degrees. Love you NOCTUA you saved my i7-8700k.

> 24 hourFirst, let me state it does work as promised and advertised. It keeps my new Ryzen 5800x idling at around 34 degrees c and gets in upper 60s with intense use. The noise level is almost impercetible when compare to the Wraith cooler I had on the 3700x that was previously installed.

> 24 hourAfter going through a 240mm AIO, and at the moment, highest rated 360mm AIO on the market, yet still having unacceptably high temperatures under full load, I finally tried one of these huge air coolers.

> 24 hourYou *could* get all involved with hydrodynamics and pipes and radiators. You certainly could. Or you could just get a bigger air cooler. Alternatively, you could get an even bigger air cooler. This is the latter.

Built on the basis of the legendary NH-D14 and carrying on its quest for ultimate quiet cooling performance, Noctua’s flagship model NH-D15 is an elite-class dual tower cooler for the highest demands. Its expanded heatpipe layout and two premium grade NF-A15 140mm fans with PWM support for automatic speed control allow it to further improve the NH-D14’s award-winning efficiency. Topped off with the trusted, pro-grade SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system and Noctua’s proven NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-D15 forms a complete premium quality solution that represents a deluxe choice for overclockers and silent-enthusiasts alike.

Widened fin stack and expanded heatpipe layoutCompared to the NH-D14, the NH-D15"s fin-stack has been widened from 140 to 150mm and its heatpipes are now spaced further apart, which allows for a more uniform heat distribution over a larger surface area and thus contributes to the NH-D15"s superior efficiency. |
High RAM compatibility in single fan modeThanks to its recessed lower fins, the NH-D15 provides 64mm clearance for tall memory heatsinks in single fan mode, making it compatible with most high end RAM modules on the market. In dual fan mode, the NH-D15 should be used with standard height RAM (up to 32mm). In chassis with more than 165mm CPU cooler clearance, the front fan can be moved upwards to make room for memory modules taller than 32mm. |
Dual NF-A15 140mm fansThe NH-D15 features two of Noctua"s premium class NF-A15 140mm fans. Complying with Noctua"s AAO standard and featuring sophisticated aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A15 has quickly built up a reputation as one of the best 140mm fans on the market. |
NT-H1 thermal compoundNoctua"s much-acclaimed NT-H1 is a well proven pro-grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease-of-use and outstanding reliability, which makes it suitable for use in professional server and workstation environments. |
